Lin earns Masters spot after winning amateur title
Chinese teenager Lin Yuxin will return to the Masters and the British Open next year after winning the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship in a playoff in Shanghai yesterday.
It was a second AAC title for the gifted 18-year-old, who also won the crown in 2017. He and Japan’s defending champion Takumi Kanaya went to a nervy second extra hole after both finished on 10-under-par 278 at Sheshan International Golf Club. Lin, who missed the cut at the 2018 Masters at Augusta and also at the Open, said: “It definitely means a lot to me, especially this week.” Lin and Kanaya, ranked the top amateur in the world, entered the first-ever playoff in the AAC’s history, only for both to birdie the first extra hole, at the 18th. That made them return to the par-5 18th for the second extra hole, where Lin birdied once more, this time for victory.
